Peach Pie

We're a little behind in posting here at Simple Baking Machines as KW has started back to school and I take Step 2CK tomorrow (eeek)! But since the experts recommend taking a break the day before a big exam to relax your brain and since it doesn't take much to convince me not to study, we're getting a little caught up.

It just happened that peach season was in full swing during the week I spent back at home after returning from the Yukon. Mom had nearly a bushel of sun ripened, sweet smelling fruit on the kitchen counter. And may I add that these peaches were grown directly across the street from our house! While fresh peaches are perfect to eat plain, they also have endless possibilities for more involved preparation and enjoyment. Oh, like grilling with a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon and serving with vanilla bean ice cream (the kind with the little black flecks in it), peach and blueberry crisp, or peach cobbler (a childhood favorite, especially the ooey-gooey biscuits!). But this is not a post about any of those things. Its a modification of our secret ingredient strawberry pie.
